Dancing with the SNAKE TRIBE of Tanzania

These are the Wonunguli, traditional snake dancers, and part of the Zigua Tribe in Tanzania.
My Tanzanian friend Gumbo sent me a few videos of men doing stunts with animals. Some putting them in thier mouths, some dancing, some running... with poisonous snakes. I thought this was one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life. I had to learn more.

Years and years of watching Discovery Channel, National geographic and History Channel and yet I have never seen anything like this. This is just amazing! Goosebumps

Imagine you pick up a black mamba thinking it’s safe but then a tribe member tells you he’s never seen that one before

[khaleedsayyeed]

As a swahili speaker who has more knowledge about the west i really appreciate you showing most of us the culture and tradition of our brothers and sisters from all corners of the world

[Family__Guy_]

As a former boa and reptile owner and someone who loves them, I believe that what these people are doing is truly great.
Remember: poison is ingested and venom is injected. Snakes are venomous.

There is no right or wrong, this is a culture, and we have to respect it as long as it doesn't directly affects anyone's lives!! What each culture does has a meaning for them, just like the 4th of July for the Americans, or just like st.patricks day for the irish!! We need to keep an open mind and accept, discover, and embrace different cultures, just like you, Mike are teaching us, enlighten, and opening our minds wider, with every- single- video!! Thank you!

This channel is honestly the best on YouTube for me right now

Snakes: *Bluff strike to scare humans away*
Humans: *Keep dancing*
Snakes: Mom, come pick me up, I'm scared.

Tanzania is an incredibly diverse country. So many contrasting cultures.

[SamanthaMogwe]

I recently came across your channel and you’ve got a new subscriber here from Botswana. How respectful you are and your open-mindedness when it comes to learning other peoples cultures. Love this ❤️

[thandumlenzana]

I just want to say I love what you do. Thank you for showing people more about AFRICA. I have so much respect for you. I admire and appreciate what you do

[deega]

this channel should be in Tanzania's schooling curriculum. I learnt so much of my own country from this channel.

[PoloBoyMal]

I am a Kenyan and I found your channel today and I have to honestly say it is brilliant. I had to subscribe. Your time with the Maasai, the Tanzanian's and Zambian tribes have honestly been concise and quite accurate given that I have history with these specific groups of people. Keep up the good work man 👍

[gluckskeks]

First, I thought how crazy they are. Now I am thinking, they are more alive than me. They are just living, having fun, even if it seems too dangerous. They smile and they are here at the moment. I think, we could learn a lot about people far away from industry. Look at them, at their faces. There is pure love, passion and emotions. I wish them the best!

[duhimbazeanthony]

These tribes are not lost. Can't lose something you did not know or have, but you can travel to new places and meet different or new people. You are doing a good job to find them and showcase their culture.

[sneaks]

I love the dancing. I feel like I could join in and not feel like I look stupid. They just move with the music in the way that feels right. Everyone is smiling and even the kids stomp their feet.

[cheechfivefiveyt]

Just discovered this channel.. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and these videos help a lot to distract my mind 🙏🏼

[mantrarst]

I believe they're doing a wonderful job showing that with education and knowledge humans should coexist with nature.

[lifeisstillrad]

I’ve always been super scared of snakes, experiencing massive snake pits (garter snakes only!) often as a child. When I was pregnant with my first, I held a Boa in Mexico, simply to put the fear aside before I gave birth. Felt powerful

[dr.haseeblatif]

The most beautiful thing is that they are not rich people but they are happy and satisfied with their lives ❣️
